Dont step upon the cracks
On that footpath where I walk
the pavement and the road ahead
some steps are long, some are short
I lay that map within my head
I have that crazy paving gait
the fissures black, dictate the way
malevolence, the undertow in wait
just one false step, halt that convey
No luck will ever me befall, no Holy Grail
no crock of gold on rainbows tail
just to survive and onward stroll
as Hades hands grasp at my soles
I will be attacked by trolls
writhing, screaming, none can hear
and dragged into big black potholes
no trace, as I just disappear
The devil needs new girls and boys
to dress in red and be his toys
and humour him when he gets bored
I do not lie you must take my word
the pavement and the road ahead
some steps are long, some are short
I lay that map within my head
I have that crazy paving gait
the fissures black, dictate the way
malevolence, the undertow in wait
just one false step, halt that convey
No luck will ever me befall, no Holy Grail
no crock of gold on rainbows tail
just to survive and onward stroll
as Hades hands grasp at my soles
I will be attacked by trolls
writhing, screaming, none can hear
and dragged into big black potholes
no trace, as I just disappear
The devil needs new girls and boys
to dress in red and be his toys
and humour him when he gets bored
I do not lie you must take my word
